Synopsis

Murder, mystery and mayhem in Norfolk. Each part of Britain has its own fictional sleuth and Norwich is no exception to the rule. DCI Ketch is a pseudonym for DCI Huw Price, who earned the sobriquet from his colleagues after they found out that one of his ancestors was the Regency hangman, Jack Ketch. The Ketch stories depict a changing social landscape and range in theme from domestic murders to drugs and slave trafficking. And, like all good crime tales, the Ketch stories utilise the East Anglian landscape to powerful and dramatic effect, from the brooding fens to the ancient environs of Norwich city.
